I think I would just scream the words "I QUIT" and walk out if I did that m8!

Surely that best response would be, as soon as it tips over, to drop it, scream "Aaaaargh, hazardous waste!!!" as loud as possible, and leg it from the room, slamming the door and refusing to open it

Yeah, another good reason for not having user refillable inks/toner. Although I do kinda miss the old HP refill packs where you got those big squishy pots of ink and a needle, they were fun to mess with

A klaxon and spinny orange light would have been brilliant. Sadly all that happened was I was handed the vacuum (after everyone else had stopped laughing) and they all went for lunch.

If memory serves me, back in the 70's the laser printers would simply first flash a low toner light, then no toner, and if empty would refuse to budge until filled.

Only laser printer I saw from the 70's was the size of a wardrobe and ISTR pretty much had a bloke with spanner dedicated to it.

The waste toner bottle can be emptied on my clp300, but if it's full, yes, it will stop and wait for some action.
